wow.js is temporarily deprecated in favour of AOS (Animate on Scroll). Feel free to ignore the warning if you can't use AOS.
Plans for 3.0 include:
- Breaking out the shims into an optional module
- Using the AOS approach for most functionality
- Remain completely backwards compatible and a drop-in replacement for GPL wowjs, but issue warning on durations of higher granularity than 50ms or longer than 3s
- Detect Firefox for Android as mobile.
Reveal CSS animation as you scroll down a page. By default, you can use it to trigger animate.css animations. But you can easily change the settings to your favorite animation library.
Advantages:
- 100% MIT Licensed, not GPL keep your code yours.
- Naturally Caffeine free
- Smaller than other JavaScript parallax plugins, like Scrollorama (they do fantastic things, but can be too heavy for simple needs)
- Super simple to install, and works with animate.css, so if you already use it, that will be very fast to setup
- Fast execution and lightweight code: the browser will like it ;-)
- You can change the settings - see below
It just take seconds to install and use WOW.js! Read the documentation ➫
- Bower
bower install wow-mit
- NPM
npm install wow.js
- HTML
<section class="wow slideInLeft"></section>
<section class="wow slideInRight"></section>
- JavaScript
new WOW().init();
- HTML
<section class="wow slideInLeft" data-wow-duration="2s" data-wow-delay="5s"></section>
<section class="wow slideInRight" data-wow-offset="10" data-wow-iteration="10"></section>
- JavaScript
var wow = new WOW(
{
boxClass: 'wow', // animated element css class (default is wow)
animateClass: 'animated', // animation css class (default is animated)
offset: 0, // distance to the element when triggering the animation (default is 0)
mobile: true, // trigger animations on mobile devices (default is true)
live: true, // act on asynchronously loaded content (default is true)
callback: function(box) {
// the callback is fired every time an animation is started
// the argument that is passed in is the DOM node being animated
},
scrollContainer: null, // optional scroll container selector, otherwise use window,
resetAnimation: true, // reset animation on end (default is true)
}
);
wow.init();
In IE 10 , Chrome 18 and Firefox 14 , animations will be automatically
triggered for any DOM nodes you add after calling wow.init()
. If you do not
like that, you can disable this by setting live
to false
.
If you want to support older browsers (e.g. IE9 ), as a fallback, you can call
the wow.sync()
method after you have added new DOM elements to animate (but
live
should still be set to true
). Calling wow.sync()
has no side
effects.
The library is transpiled using Babel, please update wow.js
file.
We use grunt to compile and minify the library:
Install needed libraries
npm install
Get the compilation running in the background
grunt watch
Enjoy!
